Abstract

The rapid growth of social media platforms has significantly influenced human behavior, emotions, and mental well-being. With millions of users expressing their thoughts and feelings online, social media has become a valuable source of psychological insights. This project proposes an AI-based Psychology Analysis and Depression Detection System that leverages Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to identify early signs of depression from social media content. The system collects publicly available textual data such as posts, comments, and user interactions, and applies advanced text preprocessing methods including tokenization, sentiment analysis, and feature extraction. Machine learning models such as Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Deep Learning approaches like LSTM are trained to classify user mental states based on linguistic patterns, emotional tone, and behavioral indicators. Additionally, the project analyzes user engagement patterns, posting frequency, and sentiment trends over time to enhance prediction accuracy. The proposed model aims to provide early detection and psychological insights, enabling timely intervention and support for individuals at risk of depression. This AI-driven approach can assist mental health professionals, researchers, and organizations in understanding online psychological behavior while ensuring ethical data handling and user privacy protection.
